Install DataSag on Drupal Twig themes

Where to put the tracking script

Use a maintained custom theme or subtheme and identify its html.html.twig document wrapper. Add the deferred tracker inside head while preserving Drupal's existing placeholders, attributes and attached assets. Rebuild the relevant caches and inspect the public rendered document. Do not edit Drupal core or replace the full wrapper with a minimal example.

<script defer src="https://www.datasag.com/tracker.js" data-datasag-key="YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"></script>

The project tracking key is public and belongs in this snippet. Account credentials, provider API keys and database secrets do not. Keep your existing consent choices and only load analytics when your site's policy permits it.

Verify the published installation

1. Publish the change to the domain visitors actually use. Open a nested page as well as the homepage.
2. In browser developer tools, find one tracker.js script with the correct data-datasag-key value.
3. Filter Network requests for /api/track. Confirm that a pageview payload names the path you opened and receives a successful response.
4. Open the same DataSag project and choose a date range containing your test. Confirm the page appears before measuring campaigns or conversions.

Avoid this Drupal Twig themes setup mistake

The active public theme and the administration theme can differ. A node or block template is not the global document wrapper, and Ajax-rendered fragments do not represent independent document loads. Check public routes, caching and any separately configured theme before assuming complete coverage.

Keep pageviews separate from scroll, click and engagement events. A page can generate several tracking requests while still representing one visit to that path.

Events and conversions

Use a goal attribute in markup owned by your theme for click intent. Custom JavaScript action handling must respect Drupal behaviors and repeated Ajax attachments, and emit success only after confirmation. PHP preprocessing and Twig rendering cannot invoke a visitor's browser API.

<a href="/signup" data-datasag-goal="signup_click">Create account</a>

This attribute measures a click. To record a completed signup, call window.datasag.track in the application's confirmed success handler. Current plan details determine which event and campaign reports are available.

Setup and troubleshooting recipes

• Verify DataSag analytics on Drupal Twig themes

  Check the rendered script, public project key, browser requests and first pageview before relying on your analytics.

• Fix DataSag analytics not working on Drupal Twig themes

  Trace missing website visits through script placement, project keys, exclusions, consent, network delivery and report filters.

• Fix duplicate analytics pageviews on Drupal Twig themes

  Separate legitimate engagement events from duplicate tracker installations and repeated pageview dispatches.

• Track custom events on Drupal Twig themes

  Add click goals or completed-action events with DataSag's data attribute and browser JavaScript API.

• Track UTM campaigns on your website

  Create consistent tagged links and verify that campaign parameters reach your website and DataSag.

• Measure AI referral traffic on your website

  Check visits with observable AI referrers and understand the difference between traffic, citations and LLM visibility.

• Configure CSP for DataSag analytics on your website

  Diagnose blocked scripts, beacon requests and image fallbacks without disabling your site's Content Security Policy.

• Exclude your own analytics visits on your website

  Use DataSag's browser exclusion switch to keep your testing activity out of future tracked visits.

• Load analytics without blocking rendering on Drupal Twig themes

  Choose a non-blocking script placement and verify actual loading behavior instead of relying on a fixed speed claim.
